VALUE OF PI

The number π  is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
A hymn/shloka, that praises lord krishna(krushnostu bhagabanam swayam)/in praise of the Lord Shri 
Shankara of hindu mythology, if codified gives the value of pi upto 31 decimal places.

gopi bhagya madhuvrata 
srngiso dadhi sandhiga, 
khala jivita khatava 
gala hala rasandara.

Each consonant of Sanskrit was associated with a number(hindsa or arabic numerals).The key of the code is as under:
